By TLex Introducing the ANDERSMANN Oceanmaster I & II Swiss made dive watch collections, lovingly created by a true dive watch enthusiast – someone with a keen eye for detail and an excellent understanding of what is needed to create a successful dive watch design. For sure, there are some recognizable influences in the Oceanmaster I & II collections but the watches are in no way derivative.You could even say that key design elements have been cherry picked from the some of the best dive watches that there are; however - far from being thrown together, these carefully chosen elements have been thoughtfully paired with each other to create some truly great looking divers!All watches in the Oceanmaster I & II collections have been assembled in Bienne, Switzerland right in the heart of the Swiss watchmaking territories.The Oceanmaster I and II share the same basic cases. Dimensions for both watches include: 47mm x 17.6mm case with a 56mm lug-lug measurement and lug-width of 26mm.While the Oceanmaster I has an angular polygonal bezel and crown design, the Ocean II has a perfectly round bezel and crown with knurled grip.Specifications include: Stainless steel with either - brushed and polished, bead-blasted or DLC finishes, 4.5mm domed Sapphire crystal, screwdown crown and caseback with Sapphire crystal, Swiss ETA 2892-A2 automatic movements and 1000 meters of water-resistance. What I LOVE about the Andersmann OCEANMASTER I & II collections – textured DUAL-layer dials sans minute markers, RED water-resistance text, bead-BLASTED and DLC treated cases, matte CERAMIC bezel inlays, KNURLED bezels, exhibition caseback displaying DECORATED movements and REASONABLE pricing for a HIGH-spec. SWISS made dive watch with LIMITED production– I salute, you!
